iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It’s been so rainy most of the last week or more—especially on days I had “free time.” So today I sacrificed some writing time to get the lawn mowed before I had to go after it with a scythe. Hoping I can reset and make use of the two hours I have left…

We saw “Digger” yesterday. It will likely land in my Top 10 Films for 2026. Irreverent, challenging, and topical.

Considering the morning drizzle and the oppressive heat and humidity, I was happy to sell 14 books and meet a few great people at the Ocean Reef Beach Festival yesterday. My next event is a market in downtown Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday. #5amwritersclub #indieauthor

I worked through two chapters this afternoon. They required a bit more editing and rewriting than previous chapters. Slow, steady progress at the moment.

I had a very short window of time today, but managed to work through edits and rewrites of one short chapter. I also started the rewrite of the next chapter. Novel progress 👍

On the way out to the gym this morning, I had to pause to notice the ring around the moon. I was always told this heralded a change in weather. Are you aware of it being the harbinger of anything else? #moon #moonring #luna

I worked through about seven chapters of edits and rewrites—and added about 500 words to my novel. Still a lot of work to do to have a complete first draft. But good progress…

Yesterday, we watched “Hope” in the theater. The first 45 minutes were amazing! The rest of the film was a bit uneven, but entertaining enough to have me hoping for a sequel. #sciencefiction #scifihorror #alieninvasion
